IOSH SHE Auditing - A Management Systems Approach

By: GTC

This course is the only externally approved integrated management systems auditing class in the world that is based on both ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, and delivered in one week. It is suitable for external accreditation of auditors and lead auditors (after suitable practical experience).

Participants work as a member of a team of internal auditors to appraise the health, safety and environmental management system (HSE-MS) of GENergy Limited, a fictitious but highly realistic case study based on the distribution department of an integrated oil company. The course is firmly based in the principles of corporate responsibility for risk-management and business control, and the theory and practice of modern risk-based auditing.

Who Should Attend?

The course introduces new and experienced auditors to a dynamic risk-based approach for assessing the effectiveness of any HSE-MS, including those based upon ISO 14001 and/ or OHSAS 18001. It has also proven extremely beneficial for preparing technically competent line managers and supervisors for a team assignment auditing an HSE-MS in any environment.
